Default tire question

wondering if anyone knows if I would be able to run 315/70R/17 on 17x9 wheels on stock suspension on a 2012 JKU??? Would I need spacers and/or leveling kit? The JKU will be a daily driver for now....thanks

I'm sorry for asking it in both, didn't know it wasn't proper etiquette. I was just hoping other would see it and I would get a better answer/feedback. Again my apologies for any rules/courtesies I violated.

You will want the rims backspaced to 4-4.5. If actual tire height is 34 or taller and you want the suspension to remain stock, you'll need to flat fender it at a minimum. Frt spacers or a leveling kit would be a great idea as well, just as Ludski mentioned on your other thread.

There are a few options to fit a 35 and searching the forum you will find them all.
